The industrial Commission Re? views Some Evidence. Washington, Nov. 12:-The Indus? trial commission today made public its review of evidence taken Before the commission on the subjects of agricul? tural labor. Among other subjects discussed is that of agricultural de? pression, of which the commission speaks as fololws : "The cause most often assigned for the depression of agriculture in the eastern States is the increased produc? tion due to the opening of western lands'ia advance of the natural de? mand, especially through their agency of liberal laud laws and . grants of land, in aid of railroad construction. The competition of the west has been rendered especially severe by the policy * of the railroads in making freight rates relatively long for long distances. The old staple products having thus become unprofitable in the east, it has been necessary for fajmi? ers to change their methods and vary the character of theincrops, taking up especially the culture., bf products which are not easily transported long distances. Thus truck farming has largely superseded cereal growing along, the Atlantic coast, but farmers in "he north Atlantic States now complain of the severe competition of the States farther south in this industry, and much the same" m ay be said of fruit growing. Even so imperishable a commodity as milk is transported a much longer distance than formerly since- the introduction of refrigaiior cars. The Blue and the Gray. Special'to The Stafe. Meriah, Conn.,. Nov.. 12,-^-There was a grand reunion and c?l?bration by the Blue and. the Gray there this evening, the occasion being the return to Capt Waterman of a -Connecticut regiment of the sword captured from him by Capt. J. K. P. Neathery of' the Confederates during the 1 Civil war., Capt. Waterman .of a Connecticut regiment-was ' captured -.-by* the Con? federates "of Ejnst?n, C., and gave up his sword to Capt.' Neatherry. Capt. Neatherry, who lives at Columbia, S. C" recently ascertained that Capt. Waterman lived here and offered to re? turn the sword. By invitation of the Grand Army pos}; to which Capt. Waterman belongs, Capt. \Neather::y came north a3 its guest, and the re? turn of the sword to Capt. Waterman was tonight made a joyous occasion. Several out of town grand army posts participated. West Paint Should be Rebuilt Washington, Nov. 12.-Themost im-j portant feature of the report of the borad of visitors to the West Point Military Academy is a recommenda? tion that the Academy be rebuilt. The report says : 44It has been nearly 100 years since West Point was founded, and from the birth of the institution nearly all the improvements have been on the patch work plan. There is one building con? structed by the government at the post that is in harmony with this day and generation. It can be truthfullv said that there is a pressing necessity for the complete tearing down and a new building up. The policy pursued in this regard at Annapolis should -be speedily adopted at West Point. Noth? ing can be gained by postponement. Indeed, it seems to the board that almost every dollar spent in the future for'enlarging here and altering and patching there' is so much money thrown away. "The West Point Military Academy should be a model, perfect to the minutest detail possible, having every advantage and improvement which the new century affords, and entire har? mony with the grandeur and dignity of the mission which our armv is to fulfill. "Putting the matter in a few words, it can be truthfully said that the barracks ir; which the cadets sleep and study and live when, not in recitation room or on the drill grounds, are little better equipped than the barracks at the average county poorhouse. Ir: many of the rooms three cadets are crowded. The ventilation of these rooms is in accordance with hygenic notions of a century ago and is simply execrable. " The report takes up the subject of discipline and sates that the board is satisfied that the practice of hazing has been eradicated. Full credit is given to Col. Mills for this discipil nary measure, and the breaking up of hazing organizations. The fertilizer trust has bought out the Southern Chemical Co. A young .man killed his sweetheart and then ki lied himself at Elizabeth town, Ky., on Monday. A nego has been arrested in Atlanta charged with stealing 84,700. In a duel at Jasper, Ga., between two farmers, one was killed and the other fatally wounded. EDITORS COMMITTED TO JAIL. For Publishing Criticisms of a Judge's Decision. Chicago, Nov. 12.-On a charge of contempt of court Judge Eanecy today sentenced Andrew M. Lawrence, man aging editor of Hearst's Chicago American, to 40 days in the county jail. The sentence of H. S. Canfield, who wrote the article objectionable to the court, was fixed at 30 days in jail. The cases against S. S. Carvalho, financial manager of the paper, and John C. Hammond, assistant city edi? tor, were dismissed. Judge Hanecy declared that the cases against "W. R. Hearst, majority stockholder of the paper; Homer Davenport, cartoonist, and Clare Briggs, also a cartoonist, would stand until such time as these respondents could ' be brought into court by the sheriff. Former Gov. Altgeld, one of counsel for the "respondents, entered a formal exception to the decision. "This case, I may say" the court remarked, * * is not appealable. You may file a bill of exceptions for a writ of error, however. I am wililng to delay the serving of papers on Mr. Lawrence and Mr. Canfield till yon have drawn your bill." . " We do not feel that we have any favors coming from this court," Mr. ?ltgeld answered, "we are much ob? liged." - The courtroom was crowded to the limit when Judge Hancey entered. The article in The American upon which the proceedings in contempt were based was a criticism of the court's decision on an application for the forfeiture, of the charter of the People's Gaslight and Coke company. Judge Hanc?y said if the matter published was allowed to go unnoticed by the court, it paved the way for oth? er attacks, and that the judiciary, if not held in respect, would fall with all democratic srOvernment. The arti: cle, the court stated, was not merely an attack fcn the people and on the j court, but a bold threat to every court. It should, therefore, not go unpunished. A few minutes after the rendering of the decision and the imposition of the sentencesfas to Lawrence and Can? field, Judge Dune, upon application,' issued a writ of habeas corpus as to them, returnable immediately. FOGS AND HAPPINESS. : : f * ?'V rffli f? h V . The list of deaths from the recent fog in London is still growing. The loss of life appears to be due not only to the accidental drowning of those who ?incautiously walked off docks into the river, or those other unfortunates who were run down in the streets, but especially to the great increase - of troubles which owe their origin to the respiratory organs. *-; Richard Cobden, the great political economist and agitator, died from bronchitis, which was aggravated by a London fog. In Cobden'sday science had not advanced far enough to enable the public to see where Divine Provi? dence began and human folly left off. It was the custom then to attribute London fogs to the abominable climate of England, and it was taken as a matter of course from which there was no reasonable ground for escape and no just ground for complaint. Today we know that though the damp - and humid climate of England largely increases the risk of fog, yet the chok? ing and horrible oppression of that murky pali is due more to the amount of smoke from soft soal than from any malign dispensation of nature. The immensity of London and its great influence as a mere centre of population and finance is apt to obscure its importance as a centre of manufactures. But it is none the less one of the great industrial centres of the world, and though it does not boast of such iron industries as Pitts? burg, for example, or cotton mills like those of Birmingham, it has an aggre? gate of small industries, wrhich is enor? mous and each of these gives its little mite of soft-coal smoke to the already choking atmosphere. The exigencies of modern civilization, the cry for greater comfort and the clearer un? derstanding of how that comfort may be secured all impel us to the conlu sion that the smoke nuisance of Lon? don will be abated. It may be that hard coal will be forced upon the manufaturers or that electricity will largely supersede the present use of steam. Be that as it may, there is rio reason why helpless people should be choked to death openly by the suffo? cating smoke of bituminous coal, when there is a possible remedy for the situa? tion by laws sensibly enacted and strongly enforced. We can never be too thankful for a climate like that of Richmond, .which bas, with two exceptions, been sun? shiny, bracing and delightful for the past month. There is a little snow and rain, to be sure, in February, but taking our winter climate through and through we do not believe that it is surpassed by that of any health resort, and, after all. among the causes that go to make up happinness, surely good health and clear skies are not among the least.- Richmond Times. Washington, Nov. 10. Secretary Root has issued an order changing thc regulations relative to admissions to West Point so that, the board may accept as candidates those who arc graduates of high schools without re? quiring them to pass the mental examination prescribed by thc depart ment. One of the important para? graphs .added is: "The Academic Board will consider, and may accept, in lien of the regular examination, the examination papers of high school or college graduates." Henry Ellis, a negro, was strung up by a mob and afterwards driven out of a mining camp in Nevada. In Michigan, the female teachers receive an average salary of $43.20 per month, while the males receive an average of S70.86 per month. DISASTROUS FIRE AT DILLON. Long Row of Wooden Buildings Destroyed Wednesday. Special to The State. Dilion, Nov. 13.-This busy, hust? ling little city has received its bap? tism of fire. At 8>30 this morning flames were seen issuing from a small frame building near the north corner of what may be called postoffice block, a range of wooden buildings on Rail? road avenue, running from Harrison to Cleveland street, and in about one hour the whole was reduced to ashes. Had the wind been blowing either north or south the extent and damage resulting would have been appalling. North of the fire district was the resi? dence of A. K. Parham, then in close proximity came the large store house of Dillon & Son and just beyond the oil mill plant. The southern limit was Harrison street, fortunately lined with beau? tiful shade trees. Their sacrifice stayed the progress of the devouring flames in that direction and saved the main business portion of the town. The wind was forunately blowing from the west, across the wide Rail? road avenue and thus the fire was confined to the limits mentioned. Herculean but fruitless efforts were made by white and black, and most of the contents of the stores were remov? ed, but fearfully damaged. The origin of the fire is a mystery, the store in which it started not hav? ing been occupied for some time, and the hour at which it occurred pre? cludes the suspicion of foul play. Mr. Bryan on the Negro. In the last issue of The Commoner Mr. Bryan gives his views on the race question and they will be read with interest in all parts of the country. The main part of his editorial is as follows : "It was to have been expected that northern papers would wax wroth and grow bitterly sarcastic in replying, to southern strictures upon the president for entertaining Booker T. Washing? ton at-dinner. But the southern pa? pers are replying by asking some perti? nent questions and citing some perti? nent facts. They point out. the fact that northern love for the negro is confined to election day. How many business oipces in. the north employ negro clerks? How many negro train? men are employed' on .northern rail? ways? How many negroes have . been appointed to postmasterships in- the north? How many northern states have elected negro senators or congressmen? How many negro mechanics are em? ployed in northern mills and factories alongside white mechanics? North he is limited to. the .positiion-of porter in hotels and on trains, or to waiter ships in.'hotels and restaurants. -r-Ts there a negro linotype operator.cn.any great daily paper in the north that fis so roundly denouncing the south for its attitude for toward ,the R?ose: ' velt-V ashington . dinner incident? Does any one of these northern Re? publican, daily newspapers employ a negro pressman, a negro, reporter, or a n'egro city editor? Some of these days the negro will realize that he has nothing to gain from the alleged friendship of men who sek to use him for political purposes only.-?' This puts it squarely v upon the pre? tended champions of the negro in the north. It exposes the hypocrisy of those who rail at the south because it 1 refuses a social equality to the negro which is denied him by the people of the north with very rare exceptions, j It emphasizes the more important fact that the south is the only part of the country where the negro has a chance to improve his condition by engaging in the better lines of industry and rise above menial service. Mr. Bryan has stated the case well and there is no answer to what he says.-Atlanta Journal. Cotton Seed Oil Men Indicted. Jackson, Miss., Nov. 13.- The fed? eral grand jury of the United States for the southern district of Mississip? pi tonight indicted a large number of cotton seed oil men, directors and other cotton seed oil officials for al? leged violations of the federal statutes July % 1900. Thsi statute denounces combintions, and the inidctment alleges that the oil mill officials have conspired in writing to control the prices of cotton seed products. The Washington correspondent of the New York Commercial Advertiser steps into the field with this an? nouncement of how the president will deal in his message with the subject of reciprocity: "He will remind con? gress that several trade treaties are pending in the senate, but he will not in so many words urge the ratification of them. He will dwell on the advis? ability of establishing reciprocal commercial relations, but he will re? commend that what ever legislation is enacted in that direction shall be based on the principle that American industries are to be protected and that no industry which needs protection shall be subjected to unnecessary com petition by foreign products." A most oracular announcement that, and a most oracular message it would l>e. President Roosevelt may deliver him? self of such bosh, but if he docs he will have greatly changed since enter? ing tho White House. Courier-Jour nal. James Eads How, a Harvard gradu? ate, a resident of St. Louis, who has refused two fortunes, one left by his grandfather, another by his father, is now trying to dodge a third, a small one of 81,000,000, or thereabouts. He prefers to consort with the news? boys and shouts as lustily in selling papers as any of them. There are freaks of various kinds, but fortune dodging freaks are quite rare.-Wil? mington Star. AFTER MANY YEARS. Mother Finds Kidnapped Daughter in Columbia Wednesday. Columbia, S. C., Nov. 14.- After having been kidnapped and lost to her mother for nine years, Loula j Wilson was found by her mother here yesterday. When only six years old, Loula Wilson was stolen by a man named Miller. She was living in South Florida then. After a year's elapse she was found and taken home but was stolen again very soon after? wards. _ Since her abduction she has been living in convents in several places, until she came to Columbia last July. She has been living with a private family in Columbia who took care of her. By some means she began communicating with persons in Flprida, which at last brought her mother to her yesterday. The happy mother and child returned to their home yesterday morning. It is cer? tainly an unsual case and seems like a story of fiction. A Scientific View of Trusts. Mr. James B. Dill, of New York city, delivered an address on Saturday evening before the Merchants' Club, of Chicago, in which he discussed the uses and abuses of trusts. Mr. Dill did not deal much in theories. He confined his remarks to existing conditions. He recognizes that the combination of capital is a force, and so he said he would spend no time in asking why it was here further than to say that it was a part of the best growth and sound expansion of the American nation, essentially a part of the aggressive American policy Jof commercial supremacy. He compared the trust movement to the development of electricity. Half a century ago, said he, every habita? tion bristled with lightning rods in an esdeavor to avert electricity, whereas the house of today is not equipped wi th, instruments to avert this force, but is wired to receive and uitlize the electric current. %he great object of science in this day is not to suppress electricity but to control and utilize it as a working force. He thinks that that principle should be applied to trusts. "Many of the attacks upon combination," said he, "have had as their aim the. suppression of the move? ment rather than the elucidation of the subject and the utilization of the force. Such attacks, legislative or otherwise, while dangerous to,the com? bination react against the public. The tendencry of ' industrial * opera? tions to enter the -?field .;-of' legislation and thence to go-in to politics isa most imminent danger. Unwise legisaltiori against industrial combinations, legis? lation in many .instances .enacted in response to ill-advised popula^ clamor, invites and sometimes forces fthe in? dustrial corporation to enter the field of legislative competition, and when once in 'that field "the corporation learns by experience that it can not only, defeat an tr-corporate measures in the usual.way, but can. even procure pro-corporate legislation. Any attempt on the part of industrial organizations to enter, voluntarily or defensively, into the field of legislation is a ten? dency which is to be regarded with grave apprehension. This seems to-us to be one of the most sensible presentations of the sub? ject that have seen. Combination is undoubtedly a great factor in our modern economy and is recognized as such. It is absurd to talk about abolishing corporations. In this day of great enterprises they are absolute? ly necessary. If we should abolish them we should go back a hundred years and should be unable to compete with the nations of the earth with which we are now in sharp competi? tion. Corporations are here and here to stay, just as surely as electricity is a. working force in the industrial world. It is wisdom, therefore, for the people of the land who rule to use the corporations for their good, just as they employ electricity for lighting and heating and moving machinery. We have for years had an abiding faith that this problem would finally solve itself. We have more faith to? day than ever before.-Richmond Times. More Convicts Captured. Kansas City, Nov. 12.--Three more of the 26 fugitive convicts who ecsaped from Fort Leavenworth prison were captured at Bazar, near Cottonwood Falls, Kas., late today by penitentiary guards, after a fight in which one of the convicts was shot. The captured men are Gilbert Mullen, white: Fred Robinson, mulatto, and Sol. Souther land, Indian. Southerland was wound? ed today but not seriously. He was also shot while making his escape from the prison last week. Only nine of the escaping convicts are yet to be taken, and the whole country is on the lookout. Three men supposed to be convicts stole a horse and buggy from a man near Atcbison, and robbed Iii ni of what money he had but final'y Dan doned the buggy after bei nc pursued some distance. Lawrence Lc ?s was returned to the penitentiary .. ?rons today and is in the hospital in ci " * i - cal condition from his wounds. / ,:nk Thompson, when brought in, vas found to be <>nly slightly wounded. When the latter recovers a 25-pound ball will be chained to his ankle as punishment. Work on thc new cell house, stopped at the timi? <>f the outbreak, was re? sumed today. Oberlin M. Carter, former captain of engineers, serving a five years' sentence, is busy prepar? ing plans for some of the new build? ings. Forest fires are causing great de? struction in Arkansas, Missouri, and 1 llinois. Frank .jomes, the noted bandit, will go on the stage. He will make his first appearance at Zanesville, Ohio, on Nov. 25, in "Across the Desert." COTTON SPINNERS IN CONVENTION. The Association in Session in At? lanta- McLaurin Speaks. Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 14.- The South-1 ern Cotton Spinners' association met j in annual convention here today. This is the fifth yearly gathering of "the as? sociation and the attendance was large, many people from New York, Pennsylvania and the New England States inscribing their names on the register. A business session was held in the morning, and the afternoon was given over to sightseeing, the delegates being the guests of the Southern rail? way on a trip around Atlanta. After the welcoming addresses this morning Dr. J. McAden, president of the association, delivered his annual address. He recommended a declara? tion by the spinners in favor of a mer? chant marine "upon a basis that will give all American citizens an equal chance, prevent favoritism to entrench? ed interests and recognize the produc? ing clasess in the reduction of freight rates." He also favored the building and construction, as soon as possible,fc of the isthmian canal. On reciprocity Dr. McAden said: " The immense balance of trade in our favor creates the necessity of our finding a market for our surplus pro? ducts. We should do all that we can to advance both the letter and the spirit of reciprocity. We especially desire closer commercial relations with South America and the orient.' At a "smoker" in the Kimball house tonight Hon. Hoke Smith of Atlanta spoke on '1 Development of our home talent" and United States Sena? tor John L. McLaurin on "Extension of our foreign trade." Senator McLaurin said : "We are at the dawning of a new day of progress in the history of the world. A better day is fast approach? ing when all people will have a more perfect understanding of the brother? hood of man and the independence of nations. Until very recently com-; merce was hot deemed a proper sub? ject for governmental consideration. There is no direct department of com? merce in any government -except that of Germany. The moving considera? tions prompting the settlement cf the business trouble were commerce. The time will come when the best minds of every country will be called upon to adjust, the complicated question of foreign trade and the consular officers at the leading ports of commerce will equal in importance the diplomatic ambassadors." In connection with the extension of ?the south foreign trade. Senator McjLaurin's advocated an American merchant marine. Typographical Union Denounce Coi. Breckinridge. Lexington, Ky., Novi 13.-After a turbulent meeting the Kentucky Fed? eration of Labor adopted a resoultion this afternoon denouncing. ex-Con? gressman Breckinridge. for sentiments I expressed' last' night, expelling from 'the federation and convention and denouncing Vice President F. . C. Leming of the federation and presi? dent of-the local Typographical union, who arranged the meeting and pre? sided, and calling another meeting for Thursday night at which the views of the dissatisfied delegates may be expressed publicly during the day and preceding the adoption of the resolutions. The question of adjourning to anoth? er city to conclude its labors was con? sidered but defeated. Coi. Breekin ridge's speech was considered courte? ous and in the vein of a supplement welcome to that of the mayor. Col. Brecknridge said he was the friend of labor organizations: that he heartily favored it, but that he thought that its battles should be fought with reason and not with force, that the day of strikes was over, citing and criticising the big steel strike. He said further, that he did not believe it conducive to the best interest of labor, but unjust and was an abrogation of personal liberty for unions to say to the employer: "You must employ only whom we choose, pay them what we demand," and say to'the working man "unless you join our union you cannot work." This expression of opinion was not pleasing to a number of the delegates and several wanted to make speeches when Col. Breckinridge had con? cluded. The chairman, Vice Presi? dent Leming, announced that the programme was concluded and de? clared the meeting adjourned. Agita? tion of the grievance committee today led the dissatisfied delegates to de? clare that organized labor had been insulted and deprived of an opportu nitv to defend itself. At the meeting of 'the Blue Grass Typographical union tonight resolutions were adopt? ed withdrawing from the Kentucky Federation of Labor. The resolutions accord to Col. Breckinridge the right to hold and express opinions, though they declare it is not necessary for la? bor" to endorse his position if it does not coincide with their opinions.

Va., Nov. 14.-Five d' ad bodies have been taken from the Baby mine at Pocahontas, Va. ? sev? eral other presons are. .unaccounted ,for, and 25 persons have been rescued more or less severely ? burned. At 3 o'clock this morning it .was discover? ed that the Baby mine of, the Poca? hontas Collier company, at Pocahon? tas, Va., was on fire. ?n alarm was sent in and the fire company respond? ed promptly. In a shprt time after the fire fighters had reached ?he mouth of the mine and the men and were attempting to extinguish the fi?mes, some of the . -fire men and others having rnshed inside the mine to ascertain the extent of the trouble and to. assist miners entombed therein, a terrific explosion occurred and many miners and their friends were more or less injured.. It is sup? posed that the mine caught fire from a defective electric light .wire. Five bodies had been recovered up to 6 p. m., and it is? uncertain how many more are dead, though it is known that there are several, perhaps 8 or 10, still in the mines unless they succeeded in making their escape through the Tng River entrance. Twenty-five persons, h a ve been rescued, all more or less burned, some serious? ly and perhaps several fatally. The injured were carried to their homes in wagons and the doctors in Pocahon? tas have been busy all today attending them. One or two other explosions have followed that of the morning and others are hourly expected. The mine is still burning ajad, clouds of smoke are constantly issuing from its month. The fan has 'now peen stopped, I and as soon as possible to do so the ! mine will be reentered in the hope of i extinguishing the fire. ",' '..

It seems that recently Prof;. W. S." Morrison, teacher Of-.. history,' gave great offense to some members of the senior class and that the professor had become very obnoxious to naany" mem? ber's of the student body. ?&r?*a late instance some of the seniors ^consider? ed themselves grossly insulted and Cadet Lister, a football leader, or? ganized himself into ? .grievance com? mittee and demanded an.apology. An animated conversation occurred be? tween teacher and pupil. Professor Morrison carried. the ..case- to the faculty and, it is claimed by the stu? dents, suppressed some of - the facts. Lister was suspended. The students, particularly the senior class, were angered by this action. It happened that it was time for a meet? ing of trustees and the "matter was brought to their attention^ Notice was served in a dignified manner by the seniors that if Lister was not imme? diately re-instated, the. entire class would leave, and the juniors made a similar announcement. It is said that the trustees ordered Lister reinstated at once and ordered Prof. Morrison to apologize to the boys, which he did. The trustees!" are also said to have assured the Boys that they w;ould have to accept .apology as a temporary expedient, from which it is inferred Prof. Morrison will resign. Prof. Morrison is well known in the city and county, having been educated at \Vofford and having lived at Well ford. He is a fine teacher and is gen? erally respected. It seems, however, that*he has always been somewhat severe towards his pupils, "and upris? ings against him by the boys have been narrowly averted several times.
